Robert Vosgien

Mastering Engineer, Capitol Studios

' I hired Dennis and he came by with his special carbon treated diffusers. I immediately heard a big difference. The life of the room started to come back. It really cleans up the sound stage. Basically it takes the room out of the equation. '

Sam Boumoujahed

Owner of Studio2020, Chicago

'If I had this technology before, my job would have been so much easier. Mixes that took 5 hours could have taken me 2 hours. This is the best thing you can do for your business.'

Adelio Lombardi

Owner of Side 3 Studios

'I just couldn't believe how it performed. It makes your room accurate and that just saves money and time. Until you actually hear it you don’t realize it. I highly highly recommend it!'

Don Salter

Owner of Salt Mine Studios

'The carbon absorbers, absorb bass like I have never heard before. We now have definition and attack/decay like we never imagined possible.'

Bill Malina

Grammy & Emmy nominated engineer

'I was actually able to hear definition and clarity that I was looking for in the room. The advantage is amazing. For what it does and what else is out there, its value is well worth the investment.'

Let’s talk about higher frequency diffusion. In most of our discussions we talk about vertical, horizontal, two-dimensional, one-dimensional diffusion. And that’s a diffusion that is quadratic and it’s based on some prime numbers. And we know from our math training hopefully that prime number is a number divisible by itself and one. 7, 11, 13, […]

I know you’ve heard me say this a lot of times and a lot of people have commented about, list the things that we need to do to have quality sound in a room. There’s a lot of things that you need to do but it’s important to do them in the right order. I […]

Today we’re going to talk about soundproofing a room. First off, there’s really no such thing as soundproofing a room because you don’t proof sound. You don’t isolate it completely. You can’t make things 100% quiet. So what you do is you manage sound. You lower levels, you lower pressure levels so that they’re workable […]

Are you tired of muddy and sloppy bass on your sound stage with bass notes blurring and smearing into one big bloated mess? Tired of not connecting with your music the way you know it’s possible? Frustrated by the lack of an emotional connection with your songs despite investing a crazy amount of money into your amp, speakers and hi-fi?

Imagine being able to hear incredible bass separation and definition in every piece of music you play and enjoying the sound of your music coming to life as your mids and highs pop like you always dreamt possible. Imagine being able to experience crystal clear attack and decay in each individual bass note in every piece of music you mix or listen to.

With the ACDA-10, you’re going to feel the power of every single bass note the way you want to hear it. It’s that connection to the music which makes all the difference to your enjoyment of it. It’s the dynamics and separation of instruments with crystal clear clarity definition, which creates the spine tingling, hairs on the back of the neck sensation that you desire so much from your mixing efforts and music collection.

Speaker stands do many things for us. First, they separate the vibration of the speaker cabinet from our desk. Second, they allow the speaker to be the correct height. Third, they can provide broadband low frequency absorption in the area of the room that has the highest unwanted low frequency pressure. The front wall where our speakers are located is always an area of high frequency pressure.

Achieving good sound in your room is about doing a lot of little things in the correct order. Reducing the vibrations of the speaker cabinet by setting it on a platform that is designed to absorb excess vibration and air born energy allows for the driver and the crossover to work together to produce energy without those cabinet resonances interfering. We use a damping compound layer that your speaker will sit upon.

Using our carbon technology we achieve a platform that reduces cabinet resonances and also provides needed broadband absorption in the front of our rooms. This is the same technology used in our ACDA-10 and ACDA-12 units. Stands can weigh up to 50 lbs for the 12″ x 12″ version. The 12″ model will absorb from 30 – 50 Hz. and the 10″ deep unit will have broadband absorption from 30 – 200 Hz. The 8″ platform will start at 40 cycles and go through 200 Hz.

Three widths are available. We have a 8″ x 8″ , 10″ x 10″, and a 12″ x 12″ model to accommodate different speaker widths and depths. Heights usually run around 30:” but you will have to tell us what height you desire. Finish is black paint enamel with 5 coats of paint hand sanded and clear coat sealed. Need a special width or height, just let us know.

Tired of working with dead sounding foam? Want your vocals and music to shine without losing their emotion and energy? Then our unique Acoustic Foam is for you.

More cells with better shapes produce more absorption below 500 Hz. In fact, we absorb 30% at 125 Hz. and 63% at 250 Hz. reaching 100% at 500 Hz. We went after the bottom half of the existing absorption curves to produce a foam that has a smoother absorption curve that goes lower where our vocals start and ends with a smoother, more gradual rate and level of absorption.

You get:

More absorption below 250 Hz. than standard foams. It absorbs 30% at 125 Hz., 63% at 250 Hz. and 100% at 500 Hz.

Smoother absorption curve from 125 Hz. – 500 Hz. than any other foam on the market. This range is the heart of your vocal and music frequencies.

Technology that manages side wall reflections so you can hear the direct sound from your sources and not the reflected energy of your room.
